Ok, this maybe a stupid question -
When having soup (campbells condensed, the kind you add a can of milk too) does the caloire per serving include the milk or would you calculate the label PLUS the milk?
AND
A serving of pasta is 2oz. Is that dry or cooked?

    Add up the calories in the soup + the calories in the milk you put in.

    For pasta, 2oz dry.

    condensed soups always have so much salt in them as well as all of campbells other products. To me, it's too much. I recently got into wolf gang pucks vegan soups, they also have others, problem is its not cheap. Shrug. I always feel like campbells isn't a healthy choice but it always depends on what you do with it, I feel bloated and salted out after one of their soups for sure. This has nothing to do with calories, lol

    Ok scary - i was just sitting here surfing around the MFP website feeling crappy after my lunch! I did have the soup (same soup i had on monday, me thinking that it was a good choice, i was craving something 'heavy" so a cream soup seemed to do it) anyway - as i am sitting here I am regretting my decision , mostly for the salt content (that I didnt really think about) -- I didnt need to make that choice, but i did and now im sad.
    I will be move on - but at the same time Im not happy with my choice. ugh.

    Go into settings and change your food diary to include the sodium. I was surprised by how many foods carry sodium (canned veggies, diet drinks, frozen meat patties, etc.). Now I put a food in BEFORE eaing (especiallly if I do not have label info) to see if it fits in my daily requirments. I still go over sometimes, but I believe it is nothing like before :smile:
